Automated Drone Photography

Question

Is there a way to have a drone go around a building and take 48 photos at equal intervals to give a 360 view around the building? We are looking to add it to our platfrom Glo3D.net

Would you be able to have a drone fly autopilot around the building, taking a 4k video of the flight - then extract still images from the video at the intervals you desire? (Every 7.5 degrees it seems)
Otherwise, have a sensor or beacon placed in the center of the building which transmits as an anchor point to the drone to fly around, which with custom software could trigger a camera to take a photo every 7.5 degrees in-flight.
Just spit-balling ideas, and have no idea if this tech already exists.

Is there a reason you don&rsquo;t want to use an HD video recorded for the duration of the flight on a programmed path and extract the frames you need from that?

Yes. You can use KittyHawk software or DJI and set up a flight path.
